Xi’s Enforcers Punished Nearly a Million in 2025—and China’s Leader Wants More

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has directed relentless purges to assert a degree of autocratic control unseen in China in decades, with Communist Party enforcers punishing nearly a million people last year. But when it comes to getting things done, he still wants more commitment to his agenda.

Weeks before Beijing is set to launch a new economic blueprint for the next five years, Xi ordered the party’s discipline inspectors to flex their supervisory powers even more forcefully and ensure his policies are executed as intended.

“Corruption is a major obstacle and a stumbling block in the advancement of the party and the nation’s causes,” Xi said this week at a conclave of the party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. This year, he said, party inspectors must help enforce the top leadership’s decisions more resolutely, and ensure Beijing achieves its goals in the new five-year plan.


Pretty sure Carney will be dropping a dime on all of us.

Cea Weaver’s Comments Were Shocking. They Used to be Normal.

Anti-white invective was mainstream and pervasive not long ago.

Earlier this month, Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced controversy for his appointment of advisor Cea Weaver to run the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants. Weaver, X users and the media soon discovered, had made several social-media posts asserting that homeownership was “racist” and “a weapon of white supremacy,” and calling for policies to “impoverish the white middle class.”

I dislike the attitudes expressed in these posts. I even think they’re racist. But it’s easy to treat them as aberrant. In fact, at the time they were made—the late 2010s—those attitudes were culturally dominant.


They are still culturally dominant in Canada.

Colby Cosh: Can the courts force a Catholic hospital to kill?

This week a judge of the B.C. Supreme Court (reminder: that’s a superior trial court, not an appellate court) heard a case that has the potential to further expand the Canadian empire of assisted suicide. The new battleground is “institutional religious objections,” or IROs, which is what the pro-euthanasia forces call them because they love acronyms so much. Most Catholic hospitals (and some hospices) have rules against administering euthanasia on the premises, which sometimes leads to very sick people undergoing what Dying with Dignity calls “forced transfers” to other facilities at the eleventh hour. The parents of one such patient are now suing B.C.’s Providence Health Care, the umbrella agency that operates the province’s legacy Catholic health institutions.

Where Are the So-Called Human Rights Defenders for the People of Iran?

The United Nations, prominent NGOs, liberal politicians, and left-leaning activist networks seemingly love to frame themselves as some kind of elevated moral conscience for the international system. They speak the language of “justice,” “dignity,” and “universal human rights,” and insist — sometimes with threats and violence — that silence in the face of oppression is “complicity.”

When it comes to Iran, however, where ordinary, unarmed people demanding freedom are being beaten, tortured, imprisoned, and gunned down in the streets by their own leaders, this high-minded moral chorus has all but disappeared.

A warning to Canada: Self-driving taxis won’t be a traffic cure-all, and they ignore the real disease

In Toronto, Mac Bauer races streetcars on foot – and he hasn’t lost yet.

Mr. Bauer isn’t interested in proving how fast he can run. His point is that Toronto’s streetcars are too slow. “I don’t like winning. I really don’t. I really, really wish these streetcars were faster than me,” he told the Guardian. “But they’re not. And this is the problem.”

Just the Facts, Ma’am

The Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good has become a political Rorschach test. A Quinnipiac poll released on Tuesday finds that a majority of American voters, 53%, believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot Good on a Minneapolis street last Wednesday, was not justified in doing so. Thirty-five percent believe the shooting was justified, while 12% have no opinion. But the poll results vary widely when the respondents’ political affiliations are examined. Seventy-seven percent of Republicans believe the shooting was justified, while 28% of independents and only four percent of Democrats hold the same opinion.

Carney’s EV deal with Beijing is high-wire diplomacy with risks on both sides

China crappy electric cars, EV

One day before Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Beijing, U.S. President Donald Trump offered his latest dismissal of the Canadian auto industry. The North American free-trade pact is “irrelevant,” Mr. Trump said while touring a Ford Motor Co. plant in Michigan, and the U.S. should stop buying Canadian cars.

Mr. Carney’s response came on Friday.


It will be great for Carney and the China class and that’s all it was intended to be.

‘Manchurian Generation’ Ballot Flood: More than 1 Million Chinese With U.S. Citizenship Could Vote in 2030 Elections

A former Labour council leader who referred to grooming victims as “poor white trash in Rotherham” could remain a councillor for another year without a public vote.

Dennis Jones stepped down as leader of Peterborough city council, apologised and was suspended by the Labour Party after his comments were made public in September last year.

Mr Jones now sits as an independent councillor and was due to face re-election in May.

There is ‘much alignment’ between Canada, China on Greenland sovereignty: Carney

Canada’s latest defence policy warns of Chinese and Russian ambitions in the Arctic and says China’s interests “increasingly diverge from our own on matters of defence and security.”

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday he found “much alignment” between his views on Greenland’s sovereignty and those of Chinese President Xi Jinping in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats against the territory.

“I had discussions with President Xi about the situation in Greenland, about our sovereignty in the Arctic, about the sovereignty of the people of Greenland and people of Denmark, and I found much alignment of views in that regard,” Carney said at a press conference in Beijing.
